Overview

This is a hand-digitised Enggano-German Dictionary derived from Hans Kähler's (1987) “Enggano-Deutsches Wörterbuch”. We crowdsourced the digitisation process by transcribing the dictionary's content into an online database system; the system was set up by Cokorda Pramartha and I B. G. Sarasvananda in collaboration with the first author. The database is exported into a .csv file to be further processed computationally and manually, such as fixing typos and incorrect mapping of the entry element, providing the English and Indonesian translations, and standardising the orthography.

A pre-release can be accessed here. The minor update in the current version includes adding a description of the column names for the tabular data of the digitised dictionary. The dictionary is stored as a table for three file types: .rds (for the R data format), .csv, and .tsv.

Aspects to be worked out for the future development of the dataset can be accessed here.
